Well if you insist they are just scrubbies, then they probably wouldn't play over these guys huh? Kind if common sense you play the best people, but yeah we still have fill out the roster now. LeBron doesn't take up five spots.

RustShack · 07-12-2014, 09:34 AM

But yeah there's still a chance a few of those scrubbies go to Minnesota with picks.

Waiters is a bum?

it's pretty clear it's going to be an entire team of all Lebrons longtime Cavs and now Heat pals and all Lebrons way with no Wade or Bosh or Riley.

PG- Irving
SG- Allen,Miller
SF - Lebron, Wiggins
PF - Thompson
C - Big Andy, Birdman

I think they trade Waiters/Bennett and fill out the roster with more Lebrons pals

not that that's a bad thing. Good mix of young and old talent now.

What is your beef with Cleveland? Serious question.

They already jettisoned Jarrett Jack, Alonzo Gee, Karasev, and Tyler Zeller. Hawes left in FA, and Hopson was just a D-League guy.

Even if they added Allen and Miller, with Wiggins and James that's a four player swap.

I don't have a beef with Cleveland, I like Lebron, Irving, Allen, Miller, Birdman, some of those vets were my favorite players in the early/mid 2000s.

I got into it because the Cleveland fans overrate things on here for whatever reason. You guys argue that Cleveland never screws up, Anthony Bennett was a good pick because there was nobody else, Dion Waiters is a future all star, etc.

For a shit team they get treated on here like they were an Eastern Conference impact team, and that just wasn't the case for four years. Now it's obviously different.

You can't really get mad at someone for thinking Anthony Bennett is a worse #1 overall pick than even Eric Fisher. Because it's sadly true.

mcaj22 · 07-12-2014, 10:38 AM

Jazz matched the offer for big Gordon Hayward. Now I don't blame him for making a ton of money on a team that will be terrible anyway.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 07-12-2014, 10:42 AM

The Jazz bungled that. They could have signed him for 4-52 last year.

Titty Meat · 07-12-2014, 10:45 AM

That cock sucker David Stern ruined the Lakers when he voided the Chris Paul trade.

If I was a Thunder fan I'd be happy that Pau Gasol isn't gonna end up in OKC. They don't need his soft old ass. He wouldn't be worth the contract they'd give him

I think you're confusing "you guys" with one person. The majority of Cleveland fans you talk to know everything about their sports city sucks. It's not like Raiders fans, who suck but always think they're great. Cleveland fans think their teams are terrible and rather than be surprised when good things happen, usually chalk it up to "it's not going to last." And most of the time, they're right.

I wouldn't base Cleveland fans on RustShack. That guy is the ultimate homer. Most Cleveland fans are probably even more jaded and cynical than KC fans.

Gasol's passing and post game is exactly what OKC needs. He'd make that offense damned near unstoppable.

Imagine a crunch time five of Westbrook, Reggie Jackson, Durant, Gasol, and Ibaka. That gives you elite perimeter defense with an elite rim protector, a transcendent post passer, three great finishers, two guys who can get their own shots, and two bigs you can run the pick and pop with.

He's also not Kendrick Perkins. Then again, that probably still won't stop Brooks from giving Perkins 20 minutes a game.
